Panthers great Deshaun Foster is struggling with Hawaii.

 

Gonna be a rough season for the UCLA Bruins

I debate calling 21 a great two memorable playoff tds.... lots of knee surgeries....

 

Not surprised though after watching some of his press conferences he looks so lost.

I have Clemson diehard friends. They weren't expecting anything here. Certainly not shocking the world.

Dabo is a drain on that program

It blows my mind that there are legitimately Clemson fans who feel this way. Have they forgotten life before Dabo? 

I've never seen Dabo as a great coach, but he absolutely is a great program builder and recruiter and that's 90% of the battle on college sports and Clemson fans should have a shrine to the guy in their man caves.

They did have those shrines until he stopped when national titles.

Personally, I like Dabo and am fully aware the conversation doesn't even exist without him but I have a hard time believing that high flying OC was given the keys to that offense. Looked like Dabo was whispering run, run here. Probably should run here. Who knows

coming off the high he gave us is really tough for some, they too emotional 

And all die hard Clemson fans know die hard Gamecock fans.  They need to zoom out.  Gamecock would be flipping cars in downtown Columbia celebrating if they could stack the last 3 trash Clemson seasons together.

I don’t know about today but all the sources and digging last year said it was Riley calling the shots and the O worse than the DJU era (where Cade looked better).   Folks wanted Dabo to be the reason because it would mean him stepping away could fix it but it sure seems to be Garrett Riley is part of the problem.   Playcalling was better for DJU. DJU just sucked. Cade might just suck too.  But that playcalling today was straight trash.

If my gamecocks could ever win like 8 games 3 years in a row I’m jumping in the five points fountain 

I rarely watch college but was at a friend's where they have a couple of screens and saw a lot of the SC-ODU.

OMG. I would be embarrassed if I cared. A buddy is an ex Gamecocks football player, I know he was miserable today. Most of it.

Why can't Clemson attract a decent QB through the portal?

They could.  Dabo doesn’t run his program like that though.  Heck, Kirby even echoed the general principle of it too in his presser.   Dabo is not going to go pay some one year rental to replace someone in house doing it the right way.  He wants to recruit and groom people up for 4 years.  

Most importantly, Dabo also isn’t going to join and do what he rightfully complains about AND that is wrong with college football.  Dabo is right about that.  They are breaking college football. It needs to be fixed.  Not for Dabo to join the problem.  You shouldn’t be able to be DJU essentially.  Paid to play and hop year to year.   Frankly college football needs Dabos right now.  They need sensible voices that actually care about what it should be.  Lose those and it has no hope of being fixed 

NIL is not NIL.  It’s just pay to play and you shouldn’t be able to hop team to team with no penalty in that scenario

    • They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.
    • And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
